Edge Computing, best practices, video surveillance, agriculture, healthcareAbstract
Edge computing has emerged as a key technology for transforming various industrial sectors, offering advanced data processing and storage capabilities near the point of generation. This study presents a systematic literature review on the implementation of this technology in video surveillance, agriculture, and healthcare, aiming to identify best practices from success cases using the PRISMA methodology. We analyzed 42 studies published between 2020 and 2024, evaluating aspects such as security, interoperability, operational efficiency, and scalability. The results reveal high compliance in operational efficiency, specific business requirements, and endpoint performance. However, challenges were identified in security, resilience, and middleware integration. Based on these findings, we propose a comprehensive set of best practices addressing these critical aspects, including adaptability and data exchange. This proposal seeks to provide a reference framework for potential implementation in key sectors, helping organizations optimize their processes and leverage the benefits of this innovation more effectively. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on edge computing applications across diverse industries.
